From the back of the box: Hit the afterburners, you're locked on to AeroWings 2: Air Strike! Put yourself in the cockpits of the most awesome military machines to grace the skies, and prepare for gut wrenching aerial combat that will take your breath away. Aviators can push themselves and their planes to the max in the 2-player Dogfight mode, or become master of the skies in single-player mode. Aerowings 2: Air Strike is the most authentic combat flight simulator ever seen on the dreamcast!

CRI apparently decided Aerowings 1 was too peaceful, so they added a combat mode. Several more planes have been added too. You can choose between 5 now. The stunt mode has been kept for the pacifist gamers.
